Description

Well, this could be better, but whatever.

I had taken a small break from imaging due to the frustrations with the equipment. Figured I'd get out anyway and refresh my memory. I spent most of the night fighting the tracking speed on the little Celestron DC motor. As a result, I got like, ~10 usable subs and most of those are 10s things.

Definitely room for improvement.
